A hesitant suggestion: 'tiar' in the Irish custom of directions is 'back,
behind, and 'after'. Taobh thiar de X = behind X. Could what you are
looking for be '(and) after that hourney'?

It struck me as odd, too. I immediately thought of Modern Irish expressions
such as "taobh thiar de = behind" which combine "tíar / thiar" and "de".
But that doesn't fit, and I don't think that "tíar de" can have a temporal
meaning.
